Vacheron Constantin

I have to be honest with you: I was very afraid by this Patrimony Contemporaine Excellence Platine when I read the Press release. 42mm!!! For a watch with a thin bzel, without a second hand... I found the Vacheron decision to propose a version with an enl...  

Some negative " a prioris ", which have to be confirmed or infirmed by an " in the real " test. I'm still surprised to see VC betting on big sizes ( WT and this one ).... The WT, I saw it in the flesh, and this is a real no go for me, a big deception, eve... 

You are right, the new E.P. is more complex than it seems, and that, to me, seems to be pure VC -- deceptively simple. The movement is finshed perfectly but not too showy. To my eye, no one creates more seductive cases than VC. No matter how simple the wa... 

The wristshot photo is truly superb. Thank you for the article and photos. I recognize that the 42 mm will be too big for some (just as the 40 mm of the Patrimony Contemporaine 81180 is too big), but for so many others, particularly in the US market, this... 

there are at least two, which are tooooo big. But maybe it is one of the watches, which have to be seen in the real world. I can imagine, it could be dangerous because of some nice details. My head says: No way! My heart says: Give it a try ... My banker ... 

I can't understand nor accept that Pt 950 writing on dial... it just destroys overall magnificent appearance Thank you for pictures Sincerely Damjan

Not something I could write about a great deal of their line-up, but this one is stunning. Do prefer the exhibition back and the fact that 'YES' they have a free-sprung balance there. Love the rotor design as well. Brilliant and congrats to VC for this on... 

And this is despite 1) what's with the gold extension on the rotor? Need to create more mass because of the semi skeleton effort on the rotor? Perhaps can conceal the extra bit rotor and spacer with a smaller show back. 2) size 42mm is ok with me, as it i... 

They don't get much finer than that.

Would have been really perfect if it was a hand wound! As i am still hurting from the chance to own the original CEP PC back from 2006, i was initially overjoyed to hear the news of this release. But alas, the word remontage automatique came up, and the i... 

No message body

great pics

The "PT950" could be toned down, but otherwise I really like it. Deceptively simple, yet complex. It's probably too big for my wrist, but until I try one I can't be sure.

And this thread from 2011 just came back up As it turns out, today June 30 2014, I wore this watch on my 40th wedding anniversary. Yes, I'm getting old! I re read all the old posts Here are my thoughts, since in fact, I just responded to another post and ...
